Window Company in Richmond, CA
Richmond homeowners replace windows and doors because the bay punishes anything that isn’t sealed properly. Salt air corrodes aluminum frames, fog and wind drive moisture into old wood sashes, and shifting bay clay knocks frames out of square over time. We handle replacement, installation, and patio doors for the city’s 1920s bungalows, mid-century ranches, and newer infill alike, with a written price before any work starts. Call (831) 273-7126 for a free estimate from a crew that shows up as promised.
Why Richmond Homes Are Different
The housing stock in Richmond runs from wood-framed bungalows built in the 1920s along the Iron Triangle to postwar ranches in North & East with original aluminum sliders that have spent sixty years in salty bay air. That salt is relentless. It pits metal frames, seizes hardware, and eats through exterior trim faster than you’d expect two miles inland. Aluminum windows from the 1950s and 1960s frequently corrode to the point where sashes won’t slide without a fight, and the only real fix is replacement.
Then there’s the ground. Much of Richmond sits on bay clay that shifts seasonally as groundwater levels rise and fall. In neighborhoods like the Iron Triangle and North & East, we regularly see frames that were square when they were installed now racked enough to stick, bind, or let air whistle through the corners. A new window goes into an opening that may not be square anymore, which means the install matters as much as the product. Proper shimming and sealing are not optional here; they’re the difference between a window that works for decades and one that fights you from day one.
Marina Bay and Point Richmond have their own issue: consistent afternoon westerlies off the bay. West-facing windows and doors there take a direct hit, which is why upgraded weatherstripping and storm doors come up so often in those neighborhoods.
Our Main Richmond Services
Most Richmond calls we take come down to two things: replacing windows that have failed, and installing new ones or new patio doors as part of a remodel or an energy upgrade. Each service has its own Richmond page with specific pricing and details.
Window Replacement in Richmond
Replacement means pulling out the old sash and frame down to the rough opening, then setting a new, properly flashed unit. In Richmond, this often means dealing with openings that have shifted on bay clay, so we re-square and shim as needed rather than forcing a new window into a crooked hole. Single-pane wood windows are the usual candidates for replacement in the older bungalows. Full details and local pricing are on the Window Replacement in Richmond page.
Window Installation in Richmond
New installation applies when a home is being built, an addition is going up, or an opening is being cut where none existed. Richmond’s older wood-framed houses require careful header work when enlarging openings, and the marine climate means flashing and sealing details cannot be rushed. We spec the right product for the exposure, whether that’s a low-E double-pane for an east-facing bedroom or something tougher for a west wall in Point Richmond. Read more on our Window Installation in Richmond page.
Patio Door Installation in Richmond
Patio doors in Richmond carry extra exposure risk. A sliding door on a west-facing wall in Marina Bay catches afternoon wind and salt spray, which is why we pay close attention to threshold sealing, track drainage, and frame anchoring. Richmond’s shifting clay also means the subfloor under a patio door may not be level, so we check and correct before the door goes in. See the details on our Patio Door Installation in Richmond page.

Brands We Service in Richmond
We carry and service eight manufacturer lines, so the right product gets matched to the job instead of whatever happens to be in stock. Richmond homes most often take windows and doors from Therma-Tru, PGT, and Mr-Glass because those lines handle marine exposure and temperature swings well. Parts and product lead times vary by manufacturer, and we’ll tell you the current estimate on your first call. See our brands for the full line sheet.

Two things push pricing up in Richmond more than anything else: rotted framing around old windows, which is common in the city’s wood-framed bungalows, and out-of-square openings from clay-soil movement. Both get measured and written into the quote before you sign anything. Whatever number we put on paper is the number you pay, full stop, no change order at the door.
